I’ve always wondered why on Earth Barack Obama picked Joe Biden to be his VP. There must have been strategic gains that overcome Biden’s infamous tendency to put his foot in his mouth. Regardless, it makes for great comedy. Here’s the Vice President of the United States on the Today Show this morning doing his best to further panic the sheeple over the swine flu. Stay away from the airplanes and subway cars people.
When Tim Russert collapsed ten days ago, his colleagues at NBC held off reporting the news for almost two hours so his family wouldn’t hear about it from the media. They also asked other TV networks to hold off reporting it, which they apparently agreed to do. A decade ago, when TV and radio had a lock on real-time news dissemination, this cozy arrangement might have stopped the news from spreading. In this day and age, of course, it didn’t.
ABC’s “Cavemen” was only #5 if that gives you an idea of what to expect. If you’re going to make a sitcom based on a commercial, the AFLAC duck has got to be your first call. Anyway, I had a crush on the daughter from “My Two Dads” so they really shouldn’t have messed with that one. A mix of old school and newer shows…..some of these clunkers lasted for several seasons, quality be damned!
